INTERDEPENDENCE


 


AT THE SERVICE


 


OF COMMUNION







The international session for Bursars in the Institute, which took place in Rome from 28 November to 7 December, has just ended.  Here is some brief information about the session in advance of Echoes which will be published shortly.


 


The general aim of the session was to “Redefine the role of the Councillor – Bursar in the light of the cosmic vision of the universe so as to better live ‘interdependence in the service of communion’”


 


The session addressed three core themes:


§  The person


§  The context


§  The system


 


The role of the bursar is situated in the context of these three core themes


 


The participants of the session explored these themes through:


§  Prayerful reflection


§  Free and transparent sharing


§  Input from consultants who with the group looked at the more technical aspects of the session.


At the end of the session, each one had a commitment and some very specific guidelines on how the commitment will be put into practice.  In time this will be shared with you all.
